  Yes, it is necessary to provide identification documents when purchasing cryptocurrencies. This is because most reputable cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms have Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations in place. These regulations require users to verify their identity by submitting documents such as a government-issued ID, proof of address, and sometimes even a selfie. KYC helps prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities in the cryptocurrency space.

  Absolutely! Just like when you open a bank account or apply for a credit card, cryptocurrency exchanges also require you to provide identification documents. This is to ensure the security and legitimacy of transactions and to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. So, be prepared to provide your ID and other necessary documents when purchasing cryptocurrencies.
